If anyone's interested, that is. I was sitting in the choir, here are my biased observations....

1. Very cool - great example how wonderful BLOGS are!

Thanks!

2. Interesting observation here...

"Fun Fact for the day: The leading health complaint of Secret Service officers is bladder infections, because once they're on duty they're not even allowed to take pee breaks!"

There have been a couple of threads on DU within the past couple of years dealing with the right to urinate on company time...I recall on one thread someone said they knew of cashiers who wore depends to keep from going on themselves while working.

Oy vey! I wonder if the SS (Secret Service) was allowed to take pee breaks under Clinton and other presidents.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, biased or otherwise.

3. Thanks for posting.

I found myself laughing out loud several times. Great writing. I hope that poor choirboy who lost his Danish made it through okay.

4. Thanks, tbb -- welcome to DU!

5. this part is hysterically funny -- I'm still laughing

and JennaBarbara talked ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I can tell you one thing, if we chilluns ever acted up in church, Mother Rubble would have had us outside getting spanked so fast, it would’ve made your head spin! Seems to me a good whack every now and again might do those girls a world of good.

Shortly thereafter, one of the boy choristers lost his muffins in a most ungainly way (apparently, he had eaten lots of cherry Danish). Bless his heart, he had no sooner wretched than he was right back up, ready to sing. But THAT SOUND, and the SMELL, it’s a wonder the lot of us didn’t have one of those chain-reaction vomit-offs you’re always hearing about.

So then we sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”. Overlooking a pile of fresh vomit.

6. Thank you!

Great reading-- I appreciate you taking the time to share your observations.

7. Thank you. Great account, but...

am I to understand that you were actually allowed to gaze upon the Royal Visage without getting shot? Wow.

(Damned shame that semi-digested cherry danish didn't wind up in the chimporer's lap.)

[teenagebambam]

8. Yes, I was allowed....

...not only to GAZE, but to jot down fashion notes as well!

Tee hee - when I got back to my REAL job, my boss thought the projectile breakfast pastries were an apt commentary on the whole affair.

[MsTryska]

9. I agree.

i wonder if there was any vomit at previous inaugurations?

[WritersBlock]

10. Fantastic account!

I could almost picture the scene - you have a great way with words.

Welcome to DU :)

11. Enjoyed your report thoroughly! n/t

[LizW]

12. I'm impressed!

Thanks for sharing your account. I'm tickled to know that a DUer sang for the Chimp.

Thank goodness the boy held off his hurl until after your solo. You sound quite professional, but having to sing in a cloud of vomit scent would be horrific.

[teenagebambam]

13. Not nearly as horrific...

...as the clouds of all that Repug perfume.

[merh]

14. LOL - you have wonderful wit and such a way with words.

Welcome to DU :hi: and thank you for sharing this with us.

I am sure that even Agent Mike (:hi: Agent Mike) will get a few giggles from this.

So glad you have joined us. I have bookmarked your blog and look forward to reading your future entries.

17. What an amusing account and well written.

Thanks for sharing.

19. Thanks and enjoyed your singing/ Saw Prayer Breakfast on TV

Actually, I think Laura does look elegant and very pretty. I don't like her politics but I think she is a very attractive person.

[LibDemAlways]

20. Too bad the pile of vomit

was wasted, when there were several attractive targets nearby. It probably wasn't the cherry danish either, but the foul smell of evil emitted by the BFEE that set your choir mate off. Also sorry that you had to expend your vocal cords on such an unappreciative bunch.

But welcome to DU and thanks for posting this. Hope you'll stick around.

21. Best description I've ever seen of Cheney~

Dick, as always, lurched along like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and looked as if he begrudged every breath he took.


Awesome - you're a wonderful writer Teenagebambam!

23. JennaBarbara are spoiled brats!

<The choir then sang “The King of Love My Shepherd Is”, the fifth verse of which was my solo verse, written just for me – and JennaBarbara talked ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I can tell you one thing, if we chilluns ever acted up in church, Mother Rubble would have had us outside getting spanked so fast, it would’ve made your head spin! Seems to me a good whack every now and again might do those girls a world of good.>

Excellent account! Thank you!

24. Very Good!

Thanks for the link. It would have been TOO funny if the whole Choir blew chunks!
